Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of NPI Equity Investments, Inc. ("NPI Equity" or the "Managing General Partner"), all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1996, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 1996. For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Partnership's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995. Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1995 information to conform to the 1996 presentation. NOTE B - TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATED PARTIES The Partnership has no employees and is dependent on the Managing General Partner and its affiliates for the management and administration of all partnership activities. The Partnership Agreement provides for payments to affiliates for services and as reimbursement of certain expenses incurred by affiliates on behalf of the Partnership. NPI Equity is the general partner of the Partnership. NPI Equity is a wholly- owned subsidiary of National Property Investors, Inc. ("NPI"). On August 17, 1995, the stockholders of NPI entered into an agreement to sell to IFGP Corporation, a Delaware corporation, an affiliate of Insignia Financial Group, Inc. ("Insignia"), a Delaware corporation, all of the issued and outstanding common stock of NPI. The closing of the transactions contemplated by the above mentioned agreement (the "Closing") occurred on January 19, 1996. Upon the Closing, the officers and directors of NPI and the Managing General Partner resigned and IFGP Corporation caused new officers and directors of each of those entities to be elected. NOTE B - TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATED PARTIES - (continued) The following transactions with affiliates of Insignia, NPI, and affiliates of NPI were charged to expense in 1996 and 1995: For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 1996 1995 Property management fees (included in operating expenses) $ 215,000 $ 208,000 Reimbursement for services of affiliates (included in general and administrative and operating expenses) 181,000 166,000 For the period of January 19, 1996, to September 30, 1996, the Partnership insured its properties under a master policy through an agency and insurer unaffiliated with the Managing General Partner. An affiliate of the Managing General Partner acquired, in the acquisition of a business, certain financial obligations from an insurance agency which was later acquired by the agent who placed the current year's master policy. The current agent assumed the financial obligations to the affiliate of the Managing General Partner who received payments on these obligations from the agent. The amount of the Partnership's insurance premiums accruing to the benefit of the affiliate of the Managing General Partner by virtue of the agent's obligations is not significant. Included in operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 1995, are insurance premiums of approximately $154,000 which were paid to the Managing General Partner under a master insurance policy arranged for by the Managing General Partner. NOTE C - TENANT-IN-COMMON PROPERTY The Partnership currently owns The Village Apartments, as a tenant-in-common with National Property Investors 6 ("NPI 6"), an affiliated public limited partnership. NPI 6 acquired a 75.972% undivided interest with the Partnership owning the remaining 24.028%. The property is accounted for using the proportionate consolidation method. The financial statements and supplementary data reflect the Partnership's 24.028% proportionate share of historical cost of this property. The condensed, combined balance sheets of The Village Apartments and the Partnership's proportionate share of assets, liabilities and equity at September 30, 1996, and the condensed, combined statements of operations of The Village Apartments and the Partnership's proportionate share of revenues and expenses for the nine and three month periods ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, are summarized as follows: (In thousands) PROPORTIONATE COMBINED SHARE September 30, September 30, 1996 1996 Total assets, primarily real estate $ 12,910 $ 3,042 Liabilities, primarily a mortgage payable $ 11,344 $ 2,726 Equity 1,566 316 Total liabilities and equity $ 12,910 $ 3,042 COMBINED PROPORTIONATE SHARE For the Nine Months Ended For the Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, 1996 1995 1996 1996 Total revenues $ 3,419 $ 3,292 $ 822 $ 791 Operating and other expenses $ 1,879 $ 1,871 $ 451 $ 450 Depreciation 553 559 133 134 Mortgage interest 752 761 181 183 Total expenses 3,184 3,191 765 767 Net income $ 235 $ 101 $ 57 $ 24 NOTE C - TENANT-IN-COMMON PROPERTY - (continued) COMBINED PROPORTIONATE SHARE For the Three Months Ended For the Three Months Ended September 30, September 30, 1996 1995 1996 1995 Total revenues $ 1,179 $ 1,124 $ 284 $ 270 Operating and other expenses $ 665 $ 667 $ 160 $ 161 Depreciation 189 186 45 44 Mortgage interest 251 254 61 61 Total expenses 1,105 1,107 266 266 Net income $ 74 $ 17 $ 18 $ 4 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS The Partnership's investment properties consist of four apartment complexes. The following table sets forth the average occupancy of the properties for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995: Average Occupancy Property 1996 1995 The Springs of Altamonte Apartments Altamonte Springs, Florida 96% 97% Oakwood Village at Lake Nan Apartments Winter Park, Florida 89% 95% Palisades Apartments Montgomery, Alabama 88% 92% The Village Apartments (1) Voorhees, New Jersey 94% 95% (1) This property was purchased as a tenancy in common with National Property Investors 6, an affiliated public partnership, which acquired a 75.972% undivided interest, with the Partnership owning the remaining 24.028%. The Managing General Partner attributes the decrease in occupancy at Oakwood Village to road construction in the area, which included the re-routing of the road to the property. Construction was completed during the 3rd quarter of 1996, and management is working on road signs and maps to the property in order to attract new tenants. Occupancy decreased at Palisades Apartments partly due to evictions of tenants with large delinquent rent balances. Management expects that this action will reduce bad debt expense in the future. Currently, improvements at the property, including the building of a guard house at the front entrance, are expected to improve overall appearance and occupancy. The Partnership's net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 1996, was approximately $354,000 compared to a net loss of approximately $530,000 for the corresponding period of 1995. The net loss for the three months ended September 30, 1996, was approximately $216,000 compared to a net loss of approximately $161,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1995. The decrease in net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 1996, is primarily attributable to an increase in other income and a decrease in operating expenses. The increase in other income is primarily due to increased interest income resulting from increased cash reserves held by the Partnership. Also contributing to the increase in other income was an increase in lease cancellation and application fees in 1996. For the nine month period, operating expenses declined mostly due to reductions in maintenance expense and insurance expense at the properties. Partially offsetting these decreases to expense was an increase in general and administrative expenses. As noted in "Item 1, Note B - Transactions with Affiliated Parties," the Partnership reimburses the Managing General Partner and its affiliates for its costs involved in the management and administration of all partnership activities. While overall expense reimbursements have increased during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1996, the recurring expenses subsequent to the transition efforts to the new administration are expected to more closely approximate historical levels. The increase in expense reimbursements during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1996, is directly attributable to the combined transition efforts of the Greenville, South Carolina, and Atlanta, Georgia, administrative offices during the year-end close, preparation of the 1995 10-K and tax return (including the limited partner K-1's), filing of the first two quarterly reports and transition of asset management responsibilities to the new administration. As part of the ongoing business plan of the Partnership, the Managing General Partner monitors the rental market environment of each of its investment properties to assess the feasibility of increasing rents, maintaining or increasing occupancy levels and protecting the Partnership from increases in expense. As part of this plan, the Managing General Partner attempts to protect the Partnership from the burden of inflation-related increases in expenses by increasing rents and maintaining a high overall occupancy level. However, due to changing market conditions, which can result in the use of rental concessions and rental reductions to offset softening market conditions, there is no guarantee that the Managing General Partner will be able to sustain such a plan. At September 30, 1996, the Partnership had unrestricted cash of $1,903,000, as compared to $1,765,000 at September 30, 1995. Net cash provided by operating activities decreased primarily as a result of increases in escrow funding. The increase in cash used in investing activities is due to increased property improvements and replacements in 1996. The Managing General Partner has extended to the Partnership a $500,000 line of credit. At the present time, the Partnership has no outstanding amounts due under this line of credit, and the Managing General Partner does not anticipate the need to borrow in the near future. Other than cash and cash equivalents the line of credit is the Partnership's only unused source of liquidity. The sufficiency of existing liquid assets to meet future liquidity and capital expenditure requirements is directly related to the level of capital expenditures required at the various properties to adequately maintain the physical assets and other operating needs of the Partnership. Such assets are currently thought to be sufficient for any near-term needs of the Partnership. The mortgage indebtedness of $14,583,000 matures at various times with balloon payments due at maturity at which time the properties will either be refinanced or sold. Future cash distributions will depend on the levels of net cash generated from operations, property sales and the availability of cash reserves. No cash distributions were made in 1995 or during the first nine months of 1996. Currently, the Managing General Partner is evaluating the feasibility of a distribution of cash reserves in the fourth quarter of 1996. PART II - OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 6.
